If It Doesn’t Feel Right, Stop
Following these best practices should help with all aspects of morning yoga flow. Remember, you want to find a routine that works for you and fits your schedule.
Sun Salutations A-E
One practice recommended in this section is to do a sequence called Sun Salutations A-E.
This practice is designed to warm and energize the body and provide a relaxed focus for your day.
Begins With Mountain Pose
From there, you will move into an Upward Facing Dog and then onto Downward-Facing Dog.
Plank Pose
You will jump back to Downward-Facing Dog from here before transitioning to Standing Forward Bend.
Chair Pose
This sequence can be repeated multiple times. Sun Salutations A-E is a powerful sequence of poses designed to wake up your body and prepare it for the day ahead.
Mountain Pose
Start this routine with Mountain Pose, known in Sanskrit as Tadasana, to set the tone for our practice.
It’s a standing pose that encourages proper posture and alignment while helping to create a sense of balance and stability.
Start in mountain pose and slowly bend forward from your hips, pressing your inner thighs and feet firmly into the ground.
Reach For The Ground
Keep your legs as straight as possible, but don’t lock them. Reach for the ground with your hands or arms, consciously stretching your spine and opening up your chest.
Stay in this pose for anywhere from 30 seconds to a few minutes, depending on how comfortable it feels.
To come out of the pose, bring your hands to the front of your thighs and slowly roll up, vertebrae by vertebrae until you’re standing back in mountain pose.
Upward Dog
Focus on aligning your body by pressing firmly into the ground with your Upward Dog Pose.
This pose helps to open up your chest and shoulders and creates space in your spine while activating your abdominal muscles.
Take your time with this pose, and engage your core and shoulder blades as you lift yourself away from the ground. Breathe deeply throughout the entire movement.
Standing Forward Bend
Move on to a Standing Forward Bend, an excellent way to stretch and strengthen your legs.
Upward Dog, Downward Dog, and Low Lunge are all great poses that help open up your body and release tension from your lower back.
Each pose should be done with slow, deep breaths. See how far you can go through the sequence each day and gradually increase the number of repetitions as you become more comfortable.
Remember that the goal is to move into poses easily instead of forcing your body to do something it doesn’t want to do.
